Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hand protection equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated lightweight multifunctional tactical glove. Background Technology

[0002] The hand is the most crucial interactive organ for the human body in tactical operations, outdoor work, and precision operations. It must simultaneously meet three major requirements: flexible movement (such as pulling triggers and grasping tools), reliable protection (such as protection against cuts, impacts, and friction), and tactical adaptability (such as stable gripping of weapons / equipment and compatibility with tactical glove accessories). However, existing hand protection equipment, due to its singular focus on function, struggles to meet these complex needs, specifically exhibiting the following three typical shortcomings: (1) Traditional heavy tactical gloves: strong protection but poor flexibility, unable to meet the precision requirements of tactical operations. Traditional tactical gloves are designed with "ultimate protection" as their core objective, typically employing a thick Kevlar full-palm coverage structure with rigid protective plates (such as knuckle plates and heel armor) (e.g., the US 5.11 Tactical "Tac A3 Glove" and the Blackhawk "Serpa Tactical Glove"). These gloves can achieve ANSI / ISEA105 Level 5 (the highest level) cut resistance, resisting cuts from sharp objects such as knives and gravel. However, due to the full-palm thickness and rigid protective plates restricting joint flexion, the finger flexion and extension angle is limited to only 0°-45° (the maximum flexion and extension angle of a normal human hand is approximately 0°-90°). This makes it impossible to perform delicate actions such as "pulling small triggers, operating tactical flashlight buttons, and unscrewing screws on miniature devices," severely impacting the efficiency of tactical mission execution.

[0003] (2) Ordinary lightweight protective gloves: flexible and lightweight but lacking tactical functions, limiting protective scenarios. To address flexibility issues, some manufacturers have introduced lightweight protective gloves (such as Mechanix Wear “OriginalGlove” and Hunt Deer “Outdoor Lightweight Gloves”), using thin, breathable fabrics (such as polyester + spandex) and localized silicone anti-slip design, weighing only 50-80g per glove, with finger flexion and extension angles ranging from 0° to 85°, closely resembling the natural state of a human hand. However, these gloves lack professional tactical protection design: ① Cut resistance is only ANSI / ISEA 105 Level 2-3, unable to withstand knife cuts or scratches from sharp metal edges common in tactical scenarios; ② The palm lacks anti-slip texture optimization (only flat silicone), making it prone to slipping when holding wet / oiled weapons (tests show that the slippage rate of a pistol grip reaches 62% when held in an oily state); ③ No tactical accessory interfaces (such as Velcro, attachment points) are provided, making it impossible to attach accessories commonly found in tactical gloves, such as knuckle breakers and wrist straps, and difficult to adapt to complex tactical environments.

[0004] (3) Multifunctional composite gloves: They have many functions but poor coordination between flexibility, protection and tactics, resulting in low practicality. In recent years, some products have attempted to integrate "flexibility + protection + tactical" functions (such as Magpul "Core Glove" and Crye Precision "G3 Glove"), adopting a "regional material splicing" design (e.g., using elastic fabric for the knuckles to ensure flexibility, hard shell protection for the knuckles, and anti-slip rubber for the palm). However, this approach still has two major drawbacks: ① Weight control: Due to the need to layer different materials in multiple areas, the overall weight reaches 120-150g / piece (far exceeding the "lightweight" definition of ≤100g / piece), which can easily lead to hand fatigue after prolonged wear; ② Unresolved functional conflicts: Stress concentration is prone to occur at the splicing points between the hard shell protection area and the elastic fabric, and repeated bending can easily cause seams to come undone or materials to fall off; ③ Insufficient tactical adaptability: The anti-slip texture is only designed for "dry environments" and does not consider grip stability in "humid / low-temperature environments".

[0005] In summary, the Magpul “Core Glove” is currently one of the most feature-complete tactical gloves available, and its specific technical solutions are as follows: Structural design: It adopts a segmented splicing structure of "elastic breathable mesh fabric in the palm area + thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) hard shell in the knuckle area + silicone anti-slip texture in the palm area"; Functional parameters: Cut resistance rating ANSI / ISEA 105 Level 4, weight 130g / piece, finger flexion and extension angle 0°-70°; Tactical fit: The palm has a silicone texture depth of 1.5mm, supporting grips for pistols / rifles. No interface is provided for tactical accessories.

[0006] However, the tactical gloves are too heavy and do not meet the "lightweight" standard: the weight of 130g / glove far exceeds the requirements of "long-term covert operations" in tactical scenarios (the weight of conventional lightweight gloves is ≤100g / glove). The conflict between flexibility and protection remains unresolved: the TPU hard shell on the knuckles is 2mm thick, resulting in a finger flexion and extension angle of only 70°, making it impossible to perform delicate actions such as "pulling the trigger to fine-tune a sniper rifle"; Poor adaptability to tactical environments: The anti-slip texture is only suitable for dry environments, and the grip stability drops sharply in wet environments. It also lacks modular accessory expansion capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the above problems, the present invention provides the following solution: An integrated lightweight multi-functional tactical glove is composed of a finger section, a palm section, and a wrist section connected sequentially. The palm section consists of a palm face and a back of the hand. The palm face is composed of a palm face inner lining layer, a palm face protective intermediate layer, and a palm face anti-slip layer stacked from the inside out. The back of the hand is composed of a back of the hand inner lining layer, a back of the hand protective intermediate layer, and an outer protective layer stacked from the inside out. The finger section includes a finger inner lining layer, a finger protective intermediate layer, and a finger functional layer from the inside out. The finger functional layer includes a finger anti-slip layer and a touch screen layer. A touch screen layer is provided outside the finger protective intermediate layer corresponding to the finger pads and sides. An anti-compression cushioning layer is provided on the back of the fingers, except for the fingertips and knuckles, and the remaining part is provided with a finger anti-slip layer. A protective hard shell layer is provided at the transition between the finger section and the palm section, corresponding to the knuckles. The palm section and wrist section are provided with multiple interface structures for attaching external functional modules. The wrist section is provided with a tightening structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the interface structure consists of a shock-absorbing layer, a wear-resistant layer, and a quick connector from the inside out. The palm and wrist parts are provided with interface connectors, and the interface structure is connected and fixed to the interface connectors.

[0009] Furthermore, the interface connector is a Velcro, with the palm and wrist areas having mutually cooperating Velcro on the interface structure. The Velcro fits together to fix the interface structure to the palm or wrist area.

[0010] Furthermore, the interface connector is formed by extending a wear-resistant layer, and the extended portion of the wear-resistant layer is sewn or bonded to the palm or wrist.

[0011] Furthermore, the interface structure includes a first interface structure, a second interface structure, a third interface structure, a fourth interface structure, and a fifth interface structure; the first interface structure is located on the palm corresponding to the hypothenar eminence; the second interface structure is located between the protective hard shell layer on the back of the hand and the wrist; the third interface structure is located on the back of the hand corresponding to the web between the thumb and index finger; the fourth interface structure is located on the back of the wrist; and the fifth interface structure is located on the palm.

[0012] Furthermore, quick connectors can be directly installed on the back of the wrist and the palm.

[0013] Furthermore, the tightening structure includes a strap and Velcro, one end of the strap is connected to the wrist, and Velcro is provided on the side of the strap facing the wrist and the side of the wrist facing the palm.

[0014] Furthermore, the palm lining, back of hand lining, and finger lining are all anti-mildew and antibacterial layers woven from high-performance antibacterial silver fiber composite yarn.

[0015] Furthermore, the palm protection intermediate layer, the back of the hand protection intermediate layer, and the finger protection intermediate layer are all cut-resistant layers woven from UHMWPE, polyester, and glass fiber.

[0016] Furthermore, the anti-slip layer is a 0.5mm to 1.5mm thick anti-slip silicone layer, and the touch screen layer is made of one or more of the following: embroidered silver fiber conductive cloth, conductive leather, or conductive silicone.

[0017] Furthermore, when conductive silicone is used for the touch screen layer, the anti-slip layer and the touch screen layer are formed by coating in circular, strip, or L-shaped patterns with equal spacing or in an alternating manner.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer protective layer is made of suede or natural or artificial leather; the curved curve of the protective hard shell layer fits the curved curve of the fist, and it is made of a combination of non-metallic shell, carbon fiber reinforced composite material and PC material, or made of non-Newtonian fluid material.

[0019] Furthermore, both the anti-squeezing buffer layer and the shock-absorbing layer are made of elastic polymers or non-Newtonian fluids.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Comprehensive and compliant protection, significantly enhancing safety. Utilizing a layered composite cut-resistant structure, both the palm and back of the hand possess primary cut-resistant functionality, meeting and exceeding the testing requirements of the "GA 614-2006 Police Cut-Resistant Gloves" standard. It can withstand at least three cuts in a single cut-resistant test, achieving a maximum level of complete protection. A protective hard shell is added to the knuckles to effectively resist high-speed impacts and collisions; a cushioning structure is added to the knuckles to effectively resist high-pressure or impact injuries; the inner lining also has anti-mildew and antibacterial properties, improving hygiene and safety for long-term use.

[0021] 2. Balancing lightweight and high flexibility, enhancing combat and operational efficiency: The main material is made of lightweight materials, keeping the total weight ≤100g / piece, far lower than traditional heavy tactical gloves (>120g / piece); the palm and finger dexterity area adopts an anti-compression buffer layer, and the finger flexion and extension angle can reach 0°~90°, close to the natural range of human hand movement, ensuring a feeling of unrestricted movement in high-precision actions such as tactical shooting, precision operation, and rescue grappling.

[0022] 3. Multifunctional integrated design with strong environmental adaptability. The anti-slip layer on the palm maintains a high coefficient of friction (≥0.8) in dry, humid, oily, and low-temperature environments, significantly reducing the risk of slipping. The touch screen layer is set on specific fingertips and sides, supporting direct operation of electronic devices without removing gloves. The outer protective layer and wrist have flame-retardant and anti-static properties, meeting the safety requirements of special task environments.

[0023] 4. Modular interfaces provide high scalability and improve mission response efficiency. Standardized quick interfaces are set in multiple locations such as the palm, back of the hand, tiger's mouth, and wrist, which can quickly add modules such as breaching tools, tactical lights, and communication accessories. The interface platform realizes basic protection combined with reconfigurable functional modes, so that soldiers can flexibly expand functions according to different scenarios (breaching, lighting, reconnaissance, attack) without changing gloves, significantly improving the equipment's versatility and mission response speed.
